Comparison
Two approaches to ear correction
Different approaches to otoplasty change different things: one relies on sutures, the other also works on the cartilage itself. You choose with the surgeon at the consultation, after the ears have been examined.
Cartilage-modifying method
Also incises, scores or reduces cartilage
Price at consultation
- Main goal
- Reshape firmer or larger ear cartilage
- Best suited when
- Stitches alone are not enough for the shape
- Approach
- Cartilage thinned, scored or partly removed
Because the methods are described here only in general terms, the extent of surgery and your recovery are confirmed separately: the surgeon does this after examining your ears and discussing your wishes, since both depend on you.
Your plan is built by the surgeon at the consultation, who also explains the method chosen.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Not sure which column applies to you?
You send photos of your ears to a coordinator in Telegram or WhatsApp, the surgeon reviews them and gives an opinion, and nothing obliges you to go ahead with surgery.

Process
From your first message to recovery: six steps
You are told about every stage beforehand, and a coordinator remains in contact with you the whole way through.
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and talk with the surgeon online. The surgeon examines your case, discusses what can and cannot be changed, and proposes a plan with the price.
Choosing and booking the date
The date is chosen with your coordinator after you are happy with the plan and the price. Booking comes last, once the surgeon has confirmed everything.
Pre-operative preparation
The surgeon goes over your medical history and medicines, takes photographs, and arranges standard tests where needed. Blood-thinning medicines are never stopped unless the surgeon says so.
The operation
Permanent stitches are used to reshape the cartilage, through an incision that is usually behind the ear. Adults and older teenagers usually have local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, and younger children often have general anaesthesia.
The first hours and days
A head dressing is worn during the first days. You are shown by the team how to sleep, lying on your back without pressure on the ears, and what to look out for.
Recovery and follow-up
You wear a soft headband day and night for the first weeks, and then at night as the surgeon instructs. Swelling and bruising settle over several weeks, and your follow-up is scheduled by the surgeon.
During the consultation the surgeon explains how the operation will go in your case.
Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about otoplasty
Write to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send clear photos of your ears. The first consultation is free. The surgeon looks at the photos, speaks with you online and puts forward a plan.
In adults, local anaesthesia is common; younger children often have general anaesthesia. The surgeon reshapes the ear cartilage, usually through an incision behind the ear, with permanent stitches and, where needed, thinning or scoring.
For the first days you wear a head dressing, and after that a soft headband for the first weeks. Many adults and children go back to work or school after about a week. Pressure on the ears, contact sports and swimming are avoided for several weeks.
Because the incision usually lies in the fold behind the ear, the scar is concealed. Even so, scarring varies from person to person, and visible or thickened scars are possible. The surgeon will explain this and ask whether you tend to scar heavily.
Ahead of surgery, the surgeon talks you through the possible risks. These are bleeding or a blood collection under the skin, infection, asymmetry, visible or thickened scars, changed sensation in the skin, and some loosening of the correction over time.
Certain conditions can rule surgery out or require clearing first. These are blood clotting disorders, active ear or skin infection, uncontrolled chronic illness, a tendency to keloid scarring, unrealistic expectations, and pregnancy until the timing is confirmed.
After the ears have healed they keep their corrected shape. Both ears will not be identical, and small differences are normal; in a small number of cases the correction relaxes somewhat. Your surgeon raises this with you beforehand.
What you pay depends on your individual case and the surgeon's proposed plan. The price is confirmed once the surgeon has assessed you and before you book, which means you know it before deciding.
